Fed a Woman to ,a Tiger. • Many years ago a brisk trade was carried on between different ports on the Pacific and Sumatra, in the pepper business. Capt. Morse, of the Alameda, while on the island one day expressed a desire to procure a tiger, and the Rajah -willingly consented to fur- nish one. A pit was dug a goat used one night for a bait, but the experiment failed. Next night a woman was tied to a tree, and in a short time a tiger's growl was heard, while the woman shrieked in agony of fright. Soon the monster leaped from the bush and with a growling purr struck the woman a blow with his paw. The woman's skull was smashed and after finishing his meal the brute sank, glutted to the ground. One of the captors pulled a cord and the tiger dis- appeared into the pit. The animal was sold to the captain for $100, who resold the brute at Genoa for $750 to the manager of a cir- cus. A few days later the tiger ate its keeper and was shot by the man's widow.

He is simply a ruined trader, broken by suc- cessful competition on the one hand, and by unfortunate slave ventures on the other, and and at the outset his sole object in raising rebellion in the Eastern provinues of the Soudan and thereby blocking the trade route 5.; Berber, Kordofan, and Darfur, was revenge epon his successful rivals at Suakim and Djeddtth. He is not even a pure. bred Soudan Arab, but he is the son of a Turk- ish merchant and slave dealer settled in the Eastern Soudan. His father married a Ha-. dendowa,woman. ,Osman and his brother Ahmed became merchants also, and for some time carried on a. thriving business in European cutlery, cottons, and ostrich feathers, and their headquarters were at Saukiin. After a long period. of prosperity evil fortunes fell upon the brothers. Sev- eral big ventures, all resulting in heavy losses, crippled the firm. The open hostility of a wealthy Djedclah merchant named Schinawi Bey mused. at length the down- fall of Osman's credit in Djeddah. .Schinawi followed him to Suakim, and soon after his arrival there the brothers lost one after an- other several valuable convoy§ of slaves, which were captured by Government cruisers in the Red Sea. This completed their mis- iortunes, and Osman, vowing vengeance, fled to the hills, whither he was soon follow- ed by Ahmet. This was in the spring of 1883. After the destruction of Hicks Pasha's army, Osman, thinking the moment favourable, volunteered to raise a revolt in the Eastern Soudan, and the Mahdi accept- fng, made him Emir of these provinces.
